Chapter 17 Brushing Past Each Other
Gong Xiaoyu called An Junxi later that night, her voice filled with exhaustion: "Jun Xi, my brother's fine now."
An Junxi didn't know what to say. After a long while, she finally replied, "That's good."
Gong Xiaoyu continued, "I really don't know when my brother's marriage will reach its end. If he had married you back then... never mind, I shouldn't say this." Gong Xiaoyu knew that An Junxi had truly loved her brother before, and mentioning this would make An Junxi feel bad.
An Junxi said some perfunctory words, "Get some rest. Don't overthink it."
Gong Xiaoyu said, "I need to visit my brother in the hospital tomorrow. You take charge of the company's matters for now."
"Alright, good night."
An Junxi hung up the phone, feeling a wave of melancholy.
She turned off the company lights and slowly walked out by herself.
It was already past ten at night, and the traffic on the road was still heavy. The city's nightlife was dazzling, making people dizzy, yet after two in the morning, the quietness was so dead it was terrifying.
Most of the late nights An Junxi saw in Yan City were after two in the morning.
She stood at the bus stop waiting for the bus, lost in her thoughts, not even noticing which bus had arrived.
